Do you 'Should' on yourself? A good friend once told me to “Stop Should-ing on myself”and it was brilliant advice. I had been feeling glum and complaining: “Oh I should do this, I shouldn’t have done that”, to which my friend replied, in her own laconic way: “Stop Should-ing on yourself”. It made so much sense. So much of suffering is caused by beliefs such as: I should be this… I should be that… I should do this… I should do that… I should be more… I should be less… I should have… I should feel… I should, I should, I should… Plus an equal list of “I shouldn’ts” to match. ‘Should’ is defined as indicating: obligation, duty or correctness, typically when criticizing someone’s actions. So what we are doing when we ‘Should’ on ourselves is piling on self-criticism; probably with a good old dollop of guilt as well. ‘Should’ is not so much a call to action but a means of berating oneself. ‘Should’ can make a person feel rotten, especially in terms mental health and well-being. An example being: “I should feel happy but I don’t” Where we have both criticism and guilt in one simple sentence. . So what could we use instead of ‘should’? . The first challenge is being aware of the times when you are ‘Should-ing’ on yourself and dwelling on self-criticism. (I like to recall my friend’s voice when I find myself falling into that trap). . The second is acknowledging the present situation for what it is, warts and all. View it as dispassionately as possible, like an impartial witness (this is a practice in mindfulness). Remove ‘should’ from that thought along with its associated guilt and shame. So, in the example of “I should feel happy but I don’t” can be replaced with: “I am not happy at the moment but that’s OK, this feeling will pass” . . The third is to replace ‘Should’ with ‘I Can…’ Transform thoughts away from negative self-criticism towards what is achievable and positive. This is a way of opening up possibilities rather than shutting down in the shame of “I should”. . I hope that you find this useful. Wishing you all a good World Mental Health Day and remember: “Stop Should-ing on yourself” . . #worldmentalhealthday

The ocean is my church, I go there to pray. When life seems incomprehensible, I immerse myself in the water (pretending to surf) and I feel simultaneously insignificant and part of something infinitely beautiful. Isak Dinesen wrote : "The cure for everything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea". Today I needed all three, as I said my prayers to the sea. . . . . . . #surfingsavedmylife #oceantherapy #takemetothesea #saltwatersoul #prayers

COCONUT RICE PUDDING 😋 I always cook too much rice: accidentally on purpose, so that I can make this coconut rice pudding the next day. This is really quick and simple to make, it is a filling pudding or could be used as a breakfast dish. I am not one to be too strict when it comes to cooking, however, I will advise you to refrigerate the rice as soon as possible after it is initially cooked (you can run the left overs in cold water then place in the fridge in a sealed container). It can be reheated the next day but do not keep it longer. This really is a moveable feast, so feel free to experiment with whatever goodies you have in your store cupboard, the ingredients below are just a suggestion and I change it every time depending on how much rice I have and what is lurking in my fridge or cupboard.. (some grated coconut or seeds sprinkled on top make a nice addition, for example) Serves 2 Vegetarian Vegan Skill: Easy Time : 10 minuets with pre- cooked rice (white or brown, though white is more pudding-like) INGREDIENTS Two servings pre cooked rice 1-2 tbs creamed coconut plus 1-2 cups water OR tin of coconut milk 1 tbs coconut sugar (or soft brown sugar) 1 tsp cinnamon 3 tbs dried fruits such as raisins, sultana, cranberries, or you could try diced pineapple or papaya. Pinch of salt (optional). Fresh fruit to serve (optional) METHOD Place the rice in a saucepan and add the coconut milk (or creamed coconut and water) Stir over a medium heat until warmed through and the rice has softened, pressing down with a wooden spoon to break up any clumps of rice. Once you have an even consistency, add the remaining ingredients and then continue to simmer and stir for about another 5 minutes or so until the dried fruit has plumped up and the flavours have melded. Serve with an extra pinch of cinnamon and coconut sugar along with some tropical fruits. Hope you enjoy! . . . . #vegetarianfood #vegetarian #vegan #veganrecipes #plantbased #foodforkids #healthyfood #nutrition #healthyeating #veggiekids #yogarecipes #eatwellbewell
